The work done at four different locations is described and the seismic results obtained are discussed in relation to the known geology. In general, the seismic method proved applicable in the Sydney Basin. The use of multiple geophone and shot-hole techniques proved desirable in some areas, notably on the Hawkesbury Sandstone. The seismic work indicated the existence of sediments up to 15,000 feet thick. Insufficient seismic work was done to prove the existence of individual structures suitable for the accumulation of oil or gas.Commonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia)ownerCommonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia)02 6249 996602 6249 9960Cnr Jerrabomberra Ave and Hindmarsh DrGPO Box 378CanberraACT2601Australiasales@ga.gov.aucustodianasNeededSeismic Dataseismic surveyseismic reflectionthemepetroleum explorationthemegeophysicsthemeSeismology and Seismic ExplorationAustralian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification (ANZSRC)2008-03-31+11:00publicationAustralian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Latestproducts/1297.0Main%20Features32008?opendocument&tabname=Summary&prodno=1297.0&issue=2008&num=&view=owner9780642483584otherRestrictionsrestrictedlicenseotherRestrictionsCreative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia Licenceunclassifiedengutf8geoscientificInformation150.0152.0-34.0-33.01957-02-251957-05-13miscUnknownGeoscience Australia+61 2 6249 9966+61 2 6249 9960GPO Box 378CanberraACT2601Australiasales@ga.gov.audistributoronLinehttp://www.ga.gov.au/corporate_data/76389/L030_Sydney_Basin_1957_GeoCat_76389.zipWWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--downloadL030_Sydney_Basin_1957_GeoCat_76389.zipDownload the file (misc) [80 MB]downloaddatasetThe Sydney Basin seismic survey was undertaken by the Bureau of Mineral Resources on the application of the Australian Oil and Gas Corporation, supported by the New South Wales Department of Mines.
